I mentioned this on a post earlier and someone said they had exactly the same thing. Well, I told my doc and he said its adrenaline running through the body caused by anxiety. I asked when it would stop ( along with the constant feeling sick thing ) and he said when the anti depressants kick in, it should calm down then so possibly a month!! i never knew that you could feel so cold because youre anxious. How strange is that!!!

yes, seriously. ive had the sick feeling before when Ive been ultra stressed out, but never constant. And ive also had the feeling cold thing... but again not constant. Its the fight or flight thing apparantly. Im glad I know though cos it was beginning to scare me.
Something else he told me was that you can psychologically bring on chest pain when you have depression. Again, how weird! But very true. i had chest pains a few weeks back, went to A&E and everything came back clear. its amazing what our bodies can fool us into lol

wow... I'm always cold too... I think it may be because I can't get my radiator to work though. But I was never cold when I was on meds. That sounds weird...

Alixe...ive only been diagnosed today as having depression. These are just some of the symptons that I have had and which my doc says are classic signs of depression :)
The meds sort it all out again apparantly once your body and mind start to regulate again properly

That is the first I have heard of that. I guess that anything is possible. I had been told that anxiety was causing right side numbness and tingling on my face,arm and leg and chest pounding. so why not chills and cold.

Hey duno, I think that is called phantom pains. they actually feel pain from the missing limb. that is crazy isnt it? I am glad to see you back.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
